Packet Tracer Exploration: Directly Connected Routes

In this packet tracer, we were enabling the Interfaces on each router using the CLI tab, because the Config tab is locked. We then verified the connectivity using ping. I learned the function of the routing table. It is to know the path in which the packets will be sent. I also learned how a router manages directly connected routes in the router table.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Configure and Verify R1

First I configured the router R1 hostname to R1. I then Configure The IP address for interface Ethernet0/0. I then Configured the passwords. Afterwards, i Configured the login banner. Once I was done with all that, I saved the configuration to finally implement the new settings to the router. A lot of these configuration and setting changes were made using CLI. I learned to use the show commands in order to verify the configuration.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Connecting and Identifying Devices

In this Packet tracer, I first connected the appropriate cables to each device.  I then renamed each device. Afterwards, I placed the network addresses between all connections. The purpose of this packet tracer lab was to practice connecting cables from one device to another. I also learned how to rename each device, to suit its needs. I then learned how to use the place note feature in order to better organize the network on the packet tracer.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Using Packet Tracer Device Labs

In this lab, first I added a router to the network. I then put a serial module on the router. I then put the appropriate cables to connect the router to the network. We then configured the router, so that it can connect with the switch 1, and the Router 3. We then used CLI is to configure the device settings in order to set the passwords. Essentially, We learned about the three tabs in the router. The Physical tab, the Config tab, and the CLI tab. I was doing basic activities that involved all these tabs.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Cabling Devices

In the Packet tracer Cabling Devices, I was to connect one device to another. I connected PC1 to Hub1. I connected Router 1 to Switch 1. I connected Switch 1 to Router 2. I connected Router 2 to Router 3. Then I connected Router 3 to PC 3. I were practicing to connect them, using the appropriate cables and ports. Once I connected all the devices appropriately with their ports, then I my completion for this lab is 100%.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Using Setup Mode

In this packet tracer, First we cleared any existing configuration from Router 2. We used commands in order to clear the existing configuration. I restarted the router to "initialize" the erase. I then configured the router using setup mode. I needed to configure the router from scratch by setting up the passwords, the interface, the IP address, and the default subnet mask.  I examined the results of using the setup. Then everything was fine.

Packet Tracer Exploration: Corporate Network Simulation

In this packet tracer, we observed how packets travel in a network with a lot of traffic. In the network, there were several routers, hosts, and switches. We went to simulation mode, then observed as the packets traveled to each end device.

Routers and computers packet tracer labs

    In the first lab, we monitored the complex network of routers in simulation mode. with this, we were able to monitor and observe the traffic traveling throughout the network. We were able to see how the packets travel even with all the traffic occurring at the same time. In the second lab, we were configuring routers and other end devices. First we physically connected all devices using the appropriate cabe types. We then named all the devices so our work can be more organized. We then learned about how to use the place note feature to add network addresses between all connections
